Professor Fang really can’t sit still, so in the ward he’s tinkering with the materials of critical components of the surgery robot, and he’s given Chen Zhi a lot of advice. These suggestions are genuine and each holds significant importance.
Now he’s not only looking to improve the materials in critical areas but wants to review the materials of every component of the surgery robot to see which need refinement. Chen Zhi is also a tech enthusiast, and his accomplishments in material science can’t compare to Professor Fang’s profound expertise. So, he can’t wait for Professor Fang to give a comprehensive check-up on the surgery robot to see what needs improvement, making significant upgrades before it’s launched.
After settling Professor Fang, Yang Ping went to check on the conjoined twins. The sisters were sitting on the sofa playing chess, specifically Chinese chess, bought at the mini-mart on the first floor of the Sanbo Hotel.
“How did your marshal run out of the command post?” the younger sister said angrily.
The elder sister was nonchalant: “It’s perfectly okay to do that. If you don’t believe me, ask dad; he knows how to play Chinese chess.”
The younger sister looked to her father for help.
The father put down the newspaper: “Oh, yes, whether it’s a marshal or a general, as long as they don’t cross the river. There’s no rule saying they must stay in the command post.”
The younger sister was bewildered: “Dad, but I saw that instruction sheet, and it didn’t say that. It said the marshal and general must stay in the command post and cannot walk out of that area. Where’s that instruction sheet?”
“I’ll look for it, maybe your mom threw it in the trash yesterday. Trust me, the marshal and general can walk out of the command post. Think about it, sometimes they go to the frontline to command battles, right? If they always stay in the command post, they would be cowardly and incompetent commanders.” The father argued his point.
The younger sister was doubtful: “Oh! I see, alright, you’re right.”
“Believe your father, he’s a China expert. Look, he can read Chinese newspapers now.” Their mother smiled.
Morris was sitting in the caretaking chair, holding a newspaper, looking very proud.
When Yang Ping came in, he saw the newspaper Morris was holding was upside down.
John Ansen had bought a flight ticket back to the United States, while Morris and his wife stayed at Sanbo Hospital for a period of rehabilitation and some follow-up exams for their daughter. He worried that post-return to America, the doctors’ rehabilitation skills wouldn’t be as advanced, affecting the recovery of the twins.
Robert’s current status in the hospital is very high because he is a direct student of Professor Yang. He secured a Ruixing surgery robot for the hospital, which has relieved many department directors. Now, a Ruixing surgery robot is not just ordinary medical equipment but a symbol, symbolizing keeping up with the most advanced medical technology in the world. Without this surgery robot, it means being out of touch with the world’s top technology.
In Chinatown, a particular advertising company’s business is exceptionally booming because it can make Chinese-style pennants. Many people come here to have pennants made, and the prices have risen from a few hundred US Dollars to over a thousand US Dollars, yet supply is still in demand. Several companies specializing in pennants have opened on that street, but business remains brisk.
The ad company owner is just baffled as to why all the pennants are signed with the same name; could it be that one person is behind them all? The owner pondered for a long time without finding an answer.
Every time someone comes to make a pennant, they just give him a photo or a template and have him follow the template. Over time, he got used to it; after all, people pay without fail.
Robert’s “Brother Luo’s Clinic” is now overcrowded; forget about surgeries, even outpatient appointments are booked a year in advance. As the number one in North American sports medicine, he has no rivals now; he is the supreme in North American sports medicine.
This time John Ansen returned to the United States, seizing the opportunity went to New York to see Robert and discuss some matters.
Just stepping into Brother Luo’s Clinic, the hall is filled with pennants, but the words on them are all the same, even the signatures and dates are consistent, making him find it somewhat amusing.
“What’s with these pennants, why are all the words the same?” John Ansen utterly couldn’t understand what this fool was up to.
Robert shook his head helplessly: “Back then I sent that kid Barel a photo, instructed him to make a pennant based on it to cover the walls of my office. That guy was truly dumb; he precisely copied the words from the photo to make the pennants, not even changing the signer and date. Later, whenever a patient sought me for treatment, not understanding Chinese, they’d take a picture with their phone to have someone make a pennant. Over time, everyone followed suit. Since people don’t know the script, they are illiterate, they only know that using such a pennant is the best gift of thanks to me, completely unaware of what the words on it say. By the time someone found out, it was too late; this type of pennant had already become a cultural symbol representing luck, health, and gratitude. What’s spread can’t be changed now.”
It seems the person whose name is on that pennant never thought their name would become popular in America in such a fashion.
“Who knew there’d be such a story behind a pennant.”
“Mr. Robert, I’ve already passed the sixth level of Chinese; will my bonus arrive this month?” a burly nurse excitedly ran over to say to Robert.
Robert replied cheerfully: “Of course!”
“Great, thank you, I have laid my eyes on a car, I want to change cars, and soon I’ll fulfill my wish.”
The nurse happily went to work with her colleagues.
John Ansen looked at Robert suspiciously, Robert shrugged: “To be honest, here, many people get rich from learning Chinese. See that big brother over there? He moved into a big house because of his Chinese skills.”
John Ansen glanced over, a muscular black security guard was patrolling at the entrance, murmuring softly to himself.
“He’s reciting Tang poetry. Everyone here is enthusiastic about learning Chinese, and the excitement is very high,” Robert confidently said.
At this moment, the international group is already bustling with excitement. Originally, these members organized themselves to combat bad rumors, and now Yang Ping proved everything with surgery. Naturally, they are the ones pleased.
John Ansen posts the post-surgery recovery progress of the conjoined twins daily in the group; they’ve discussed the surgical video countless times.
[Formally announcing a major news update to everyone.]
There’s little response in the group, everyone guesses he’s going to announce he passed the Chinese Level 4 exam. It’s always ; he says he passed, but usually misses by one or two points, crying wolf is not new, so this kind of news barely stirs interest in the group anymore.
Woodhead saw no reaction, he quickly threw several big red packets, and in an instant, all the red packets were snatched up, proving everyone still had time.
[Formally announced, I’ve passed the Chinese Level 4 exam.]
Immediately after, a screenshot of the Chinese Level 4 examination score inquiry was sent in the group.
Did he really pass this time? This guy is truly amazing and determined, after many defeats, he finally achieved success.
Another flurry of red packets bombing the chat, Woodhead is a generous person; at this happy moment, he’ll be more generous. Getting the Chinese Level 4 certificate means his next step is to apply for further study at Sanbo Hospital, a place he’s dreamed of coming to, specializing in spinal surgery.
[The Professor’s local anesthesia technique is so amazing; I also want to learn it.]
[There is internal study material, which everyone can download from the forum by themselves.]
[You need to relearn local anatomy first, and then learn to recognize detailed local anatomy using MRI and CT, being very familiar with the nerve distribution of the anesthesia area.]
[In the end, each of Professor’s godlike operations needs a solid foundation, everyone needs to revisit the basic courses at school, and review carefully.]
[The conjoined twins’ surgery, the distribution of the brainstem neural nuclei, no one thought it was using embryology knowledge to determine the boundary before surgery.]
[So, everyone pay attention, definitely, definitely, definitely review the basic courses.]
